So you have IT working on securing the servers and other security protocol. Maybe you should check on what happens with “broken” and replaced hardware.

You might be interested to know that a vast majority of computers and electronic equipment (even phones) that are donated to charity or sent to a recycling center still have confidential and corporate information on the drives.

Digital forensics is a growing field because information – even confidential and proprietary information – is stored digitally instead of in file folders on sheets of paper. Even if you consider old hardware has old information on it – do you want to take the chance that it could be released?
